摘要：

Cletocamptus merbokensis sp. nov. is described from material collected out of muddy sediments in the Merbok mangrove forest, northwest peninsula Malaysia. It is distinguished from all other known species of Cletocamptus by the presence of only two setae on P2 and P3 endopod-2 and no inner seta on P4 exopod-2; and by the form of the male P5 in which the baseoendopod and most of the endopodal and exopodal lobes are absorbed into the somatic cuticle. The higher taxonomic position of the genus is briefly discussed.
